I have a profile but had no idea what to do with it, how to go about interacting with people or any of that stuff. Am quite looking forward to seeing the changes.

That’s it. by Tantek http://aakash.doesthings.com/2011/12/28/mozillians-org-and-browserid-two-clicks-thats-it/comment-page-1/#comment-1779 Tantek Fri, 06 Jan 2012 20:55:03 +0000 http://aakash.doesthings.com/?p=641#comment-1779 @Oscar Godson, in answer to your question: "How do 90% of sites run?" The answer is: much faster! * fewer HTTP requests * more responsive UI not waiting for poorly written scripts to complete. And on mobile (e.g. over flaky 3G connections as is common in major cities, SF, NYC), sites actually complete loading their content (rather than being hung-up on requests for unnecessary scripts). Thus in many cases, such as mobile use, disabling JS actually results in more reliability. On a slow network when users click an AJAX #!-link before the JS loads nothing happens. A slow net is like JS-off, thus it behooves webdevs to make their site work without JS, at least if they care about mobile, which is how the web accessed more and more often these days. @Oscar Godson, in answer to your question:

For example, "quality assurance" and "qa", "support" and "sumo" (all these groups already exist)? Given that the list of groups isn't visible I guess that a lot more such synonyms will be created.
